Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Roll small portions of the mixture into bite-sized balls about an inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of oil and brown the meatballs on all sides for about five minutes. They do not need to cook through yet.
- Remove the browned meatballs and set aside. In the same pot, add beef broth and bring it to a simmer while scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom.
- Stir in heavy cream and chopped dill once simmering. Return the meatballs back into the pot and let everything simmer together for another ten minutes.
- Serve hot in bowls garnished with extra dill if desired.
